29. Future Prospects Wheat
The productivity of Wheat has reached to its potential level & scope for further improvement is limited. However, department has taken some initiatives to further improve wheat productivity.
Planting of wheat at 18 cm spacing instead of 20 cm will be promoted vigorously. This system of planting may improve wheat productivity by 5-10 %.
Varietal replacement will be another focus area to improve productivity. Efforts will be made to bring more area under DBW- 17, HD-2967, HD-2894, DPW & HD-2851.
Relay planting of wheat in cotton for improving wheat productivity in cotton belt as it will help in timely sowing of wheat.
Low productivity blocks/districts will be targeted for improvement.

30. Contd. Rice Summer Moong Spring Maize
Direct Seeding of Rice have excellent potential & 50 % Basmati area is targeted to put under this system by the end of 12th plan.
Cultivation of hybrid rice will be promoted to improve rice productivity (20 % area).
Targeted 50,000 hect. area to be shifted to Maize during Kharif 2013
Summer Moong
Good prospects of summer moong in Paddy areas as adequate irrigation facilities are available.
Plan to bring 5.00 lakh hect. area under this crop by the end of 12th plan
Spring Maize
Good scope of spring maize in areas vacated by potato crop
Productivity of qtl. per hect. may be harvested
An area of 20,000 hect. targeted during spring
